Su Chenghui’s thirst for revenge was only theoretical — there was never a real plan. This went on until Li Qianxue delivered a daughter. As luck would have it, Li Qianxue’s child was full-term when delivered.
However, Xiang Caiping’s baby was not. Her body was weak, which caused her to deliver half a month too early. Her child was born a day after Li Qianxue’s.
When he saw the child, he thought about Li Qianxue, who was in a deep slumber after the exhaustion of delivery, and a bold and crazy plan flashed across his mind.
He did not want to tie the knot with Li Qianxue, yet he did. He had wanted to marry Xiang Caiping, yet he could not.
Aren’t you very capable, Li Qianxue? Isn’t the Li family really powerful? If I take away your child, what would become of you?
Old Master Li was always by his daughter’s side. The child was in the newborns’ unit. The stars were aligned to aid Su Chenghui’s cause.
He finally made up his mind. He carried Xiang Caiping’s daughter into the newborns’ unit and put her in place of Li Qianxue’s child.
In truth, he had considered an even more brutal idea, which was to send Li Qianxue’s daughter to the orphanage. He wanted Li Qianxue to regret trapping him.
However, when he was holding the little infant girl, he lapsed into a moment’s hesitation.
No matter how much he disliked Li Qianxue, no matter how much he resented her, this child was his, too.
Eventually, Li Qianxue’s child was not sent away, at least not to the orphanage. He hired someone to look after her, and someone else to care for Xiang Caiping.
Li Qianxue woke up after a day. The first thing she requested after waking up was to see her daughter.
Before he could name the child, Old Master Li gave her a name — Peizhen.
The outcome was settled. The switch he had orchestrated was perfectly executed. A month later, he found a reason to pick a fight with Li Qianxue, and brought Su Qingsang home when she relented.
That was the darkest idea he had ever manifested during his youth.
Very selfish, aren’t you, Li Qianxue?
Aren’t you very proud of yourself, Li Qianxue?
I’ll have your biological daughter placed before you. She’ll be in your sight every day, but you’ll never know or recognize that it’s her.
I want you to treat your own daughter as an illegitimate child. If you make life difficult for her, you’ll be causing trouble to your own blood.
Truthfully, Su Chenghui really had the urge to witness Li Qianxue making life hard for Su Qingsang.
However, it was a shame that Li Qianxue was an extremely arrogant person. She would not waste her time to pick fights with a person she deemed irrelevant. At most, she would just ignore their existence.
However, that was enough. Su Chenghui watched as Li Qianxue paid no heed to Su Qingsang. She would be incredibly attentive to Su Peizhen, but she would never show Su Qingsang an ounce of kindness.
His resentment of being forced to tie the knot — being forced to marry her — had finally abated.
He had had his revenge, but then came a time when he started to worry again. He was worried that Su Peizhen would grow up to look like Xiang Caiping, and Su Qingsang would, in turn, grow up to look like Li Qianxue.
If that was the case, Li Qianxue could begin to suspect, for Li Qianxue’s looks were of a completely different type than Xiang Caiping. They were nothing like each other.
However, it seemed that even God was on his side. Su Peizhen looked neither like him nor like Li Qianxue. Instead, as she grew, she looked more and more like Su Chenghui’s deceased mother.
Due to genes that skipped a generation, nothing about Su Peizhen resembled them at all. At most, the expression of her eyes reflected the shadow of his past self. That was all.
However, Su Qingsang grew up to look more and more like him. Many times when he looked at his two daughters, he could only lament that this, perhaps, must be God’s will.
Even God seemed to think that the Li family were beyond reproach; even He seemed to be on Li Qianxue’s side. An outcome like this had resulted because of that.
